they have different endings because they are different ions.
-ide is used to represent the anion of an element by itself with no other elements involved.
the anion of Nitrogen (N) is the nitride ion
N^3-
the anion of chlorine (Cl) is the chloride ion
Cl-
-ite and ate are suffixes when O is part of the ion
Many elements can form ions with different numbers of O atoms, -ite is used for the smaller number of O atoms. -ate is used for the ion with the larger number of O atoms
